The bus 2 hours and 20 minutes late !!! Then the bus ticket said drop off point in Klerksdorp would be at Protea Hotel, but the bus stop at the Total garage, 1 km away from Protea Hotel...told us to get off, because they don't stop at Protea Hotel anymore ??? It was dark and dangerous by the garage where the bus left me...and I have to make new arrangement to get home...
